A memorial service was held this morning for the mother and brother of kidnapped teen Hannah Anderson, who was rescued two weeks ago by the FBI in the forest of southern Idaho.
Christina Anderson, 44, and Ethan Anderson, 8, was killed, allegedly by James DiMaggio, in DiMaggio's house in Boulevard in rural San Diego County on Aug. 4 before he kidnapped Hannah. Authorities say DiMaggio set fire to the home before leaving town with Hannah.
The service was at the Guardian Angels Roman Catholic Church in Santee.
"For the death of Tina and Ethan there are no easy words," the Rev. Kevin Casey told the memorial gathering. "We struggle with deaths like this because they are not right. They are an abomination."
Mother and son died from "horrific and cruel murders," Casey said. "We are touched by this evil and we can never be the same again."
DiMaggio and Hannah who were seen by two hikers in the rugged Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness in Idaho. On Aug. 10, DiMaggio was shot and killed by FBI agents.
